i recently noticed that my car vibrates more while im inside it. im thinking it's the enginemount since i took of the upper and lower driver side at one point. could it be in some way i installed the engine mount wrong? the mount are in including the rubber but the rubber has some play into it. what things should i pay attention to in reinstalling the mounts?

 

What year is you car?

I know that a lot of second gen Integra's have a problem with the idle that makes the car vibrate a bit on the inside. Mine does it as well. If you watch the idle it gets worse as it drops below 1krpm, in fact mine almost stalled just the other day. First time that ever happened.

Could be the mounts but perhaps its something with the motor itself. How many miles have you got and seeing as how you titled this "more vibration" I'm assuming you've posted about this before.

 

engines tend to vibrate with age. have you seen a car with 100,000 miles and run
smoothly? i havent.

 

2001 integra about 33333 miles

so what do you guys think?

My sisters 1.8 Eagle Talon with 180k idles as smooth as a Lexus. Maybe it's because it has a crank shaft balancer.

 

does it only vibrate while you are driving?

i know ive heard a few stories of people who had the stock lug nuts with aftermarket rims and getting some vibration due to the fact that the lugs didnt rest flat against the side of the rim

That's not normal. In general, with idle issues, a good place to start is the IACV. Give it a good clean and make sure it's working properly. Also, TPS voltage can throw off the idle. Make sure the voltage is within spec. Also check for vacuum leaks.

Check your timing, air filter, pcv, and plugs then adj. your idle speed. If you do all that and still have problems stalling I would think your engine is shot.

When you remove engine mounts always torque the bolts to spec. Other than that, you can't mess up.

 

the idle is normal, its the vibration in the cabin is what im concerned about. could it be that the engine is not leveled with the mounts on? they are torqued to spec when i installed them back on.
